Birds was inspired by Jim Goldberg’s “Rich and Poor”, a collection of photographs of rich and poor Americans, each with a handwritten statement by the subject, thereby creating a heart gripping portrait of the USA.

It was a logical step to have an ornithologist (a fictional ornithologist) portrait birds in a similar way, for they have just as much to say about the human condition. If people would only listen.

I have no idea what people think of me,
I don’t think much of them, that’s for sure.
Life is a bitch for everyone and I’m
struggling, just like everyone else.
Compassion is a mistake and the seed
for sloth and weakness.
And nobody ever offered to help me
out in any way, so why should I?
Egon, buzzard

Das Bilderbuch VAAL erzählt von einem kleinen Jungen, der herausfinden will, welches Geheimnis sich im Betonmischer seines Vaters verbirgt. Die Geschichte untersucht das moderne Phänomen des urbanen Schamanismus und das traditionelle Problem der Neugier. (Der Name VAAL geht zurück auf eine untergeordnete Gottheit aus einer Star Treck Episode.)
